Doctors recommend taking at least two blood pressure readings every time a measurement is taken and averaging them, because blood pressure can be affected by even the smallest external or internal factors.

Anxiety, stress or emotional upset can cause a fluctuation in blood pressure. Temperature is another common factor that can cause blood pressure variation – for example, if you have been in a warm room, taken a hot bath or just come inside from the cold, any of these can cause a change in your blood pressure readings.

What you eat and drink can also cause blood pressure fluctuations. Fermented or pickled foods, along with drinks containing caffeine or alcohol can impact or skew blood pressure readings.

The next time you use your QardioArm, it will automatically take the number of consecutive measurements you have specified and average them, providing a more accurate overall reading on your blood pressure.
